You were quite the kindred spirit in The Art of Getting By. Is that how you are, too?

Yeah, that's why I love Sally. She portrayed girls at that age in an honest way. She wasn't the popular girl, but she also wasn't nerd. Not a lot of movies do that. She comes off as a kindred spirit because she's a young girl but she's very independent.

You've been in several great movies this year. What's next?

I'm in a movie called , and Rashida Jones and Andy Samburg star in it. I play a pop star, which was really fun and totally different. I could just kind of make up a character. We took the stereotype and made it funny.
